- Okay, how do I take it from you?
Don't throw it at me.
- When did I throw something at you?
- You've been throwing snakes at me all day, bro!
- We just met!
(hissing sound)
- Hello there, my name is Marco Solis,
I work for reptile rentals.
I've been doing this, actually, for 15 years,
and today we're tryin' to get,
to help these people, to confront their fears,
(hissing)
- Why am I afraid of snakes?
Why the hell is anyone not afraid of snakes
is a better (beep) question!
- Satan was a snake. I don't trust 'em.
I just don't trust 'em.
- I used to watch a lot of Indiana Jones,
when I was a kid, he hates snakes, I trust him.
- I am hoping to have a better understanding of them,
and realize that they're probably not so bad.
(sighs and stutters)
- I mean I'm not gonna be 'ready,' let's just do it.
(exciting rock music)
- Hello, Michelle.
- Hi.
- How are you? My name is Marco. Don't run away.
(Michelle whimpers)
So I hear you're scared of snakes.
- Yep.
- But you don't know exactly why.
- Nope.
- Think about something else, think about
what you had for breakfast today.
- Quiche.
- And was that good?
- It was a beautiful quiche...
- Look at him, he wants to go to you, he's like,
I'm with Dad right there, I don't need to be by this guy.
- I want you to do me a favor.
- Hold it! Hold everything! This was not part of the deal...
Why is it...
- Just touch it
- He's kinda cute,
- Yeah, he's cute.
- It's tongue kinda freaks me out.
- [Quiche guy] What's his name?
- [Marco] That one is Skinny.
- [Quiche guy] Skinny?
- [Marco] Yes.
- What's up, Skinny?
- Oh God....
- No, no, God is busy. Don't....
- Okay. You're very calming.
- Yeah, it's just like...
- I feel like you should have an audio book on snakes.
- It's like a moving piece of spaghetti.
- Whoooo! It's like a slinky that's alive.
- Stand by, okay? I'll be back.
- Wait! Come back!
- Okay. All right. I'm sorry, hold on.
We're, dude, dude, we're pushing it. Come on.
- We're not looking at it.
- [Marco] Well keep shaking.
- Woah!
- Oh! Lovely....
- Feel pretty good? Comfortable a little bit?
(exhales loudly)
- The color is just so pretty.
- Oh it's kissing me.
- This one eats other snakes.
- Wait. This eats other snakes?
- Yeah.
Hold on, what are you, I didn't ask you to give it to me.
I want you to have a feel, you feel comfortable, relax.
- Woah (beep)!
- It just sneezed.
- Yeah! Yeah! I don't like, what the hell!
Did anyone else see that?
- Like, it's cool to feel all their muscles moving.
- Their tongues are actually really cute.
I have a new appreciation for them,
I still have a little bit of that anxiety,
but I'm really happy I did this.
- Apparently, there are good snakes, too.
- I hate you for doing this to me.
(hissing)
- [Michelle] Whooo hoo hoo hoo hoo!!
- Stop it!
- Aaaahhhh!!!
- [Girl in white shirt] Oh my God!
- It's a good thing snakes can't hear us scream!
- That is a big, goddamn snake, that is a big (beep) snake,
that is a big (beep) snake.
- [Quiche guy] Nooo!
- This is happening.
- Okay....
- Hi Steve.
- This is definitely not my favorite snake,
it's freaking me out every time he looks at me.
- Bro, your tongue is, looong....
- Yeah, dude. He's just like batting his head
like it's no problem.
- [Michelle] Wait, is that the snakes...
[Girl in white shirt] You like what you see, little buddy?
- [Michelle] God...
- [Girl with white shirt] I can't believe
I'm holding this (beep)
I think this is a little therapeutic for me,
to just go ahead and do this, but I feel like maybe
in a few weeks, I'll go back to being scared of them.
- I feel a little bit better about snakes,
I'm still not gonna mess with them,
but I feel a little bit better about them.
- Yeah, okay, I'm proud of myself,
I did it, that's great, lets get
the snake away from me, okay?
(punk music)
(piano tune)
- It's just so sad, what's happening over there.
- Oh yeah. Mmm-hmm.
(whooshing noise)
You don't know the half of it.
(jazz music)
